February 17, 2011 – Leviticus 21

Here we see the importance of the priest to God and how He wanted to keep them separate from “normal” people.  That is because they performed such an important task of offering the sacrifices to God.  We see some of the idea of having defects as being a sign of sinfulness in that those with defects could not become the priest or at least not perform in the services as regular priest.
